The curious world of Olde Time Punishments, by Ian Morgan. . From birching to branding and beheading to burning, the strange and curious world of olde time punishments is something to behold. Listen to stories of ducking stools and witches, the pillory and perjurers and many more. We all know of corporal and capital punishment but how do you punish the dead? And how do you punish a horse and cart or a train? The answers are all here in The Curious world of Olde Time Punishments. Just what is a deodand or a Newcastle cloak and what about the Branks of the Hand of Glory?
